Did you know that the traditional 5-point survey scale usually fails to gauge employee engagement accurately? And that simply asking whether your employees are "satisfied" won't get you a step closer to understanding what will drive employees to achieve your goals? If you want your employees to passionately pursue success, you must identify what motivates and drives them, and makes them truly want to give the 100% effort you require.

Leadership IQ's proprietary employee survey, the Hundred Percenter Index, helps you bring out the best in your employees by tapping into their unique motivators. Our employee survey not only identifies any "pain points" that are hindering your organizational culture; it also uses advanced statistical analysis to identify the exact roadmap for your unique culture to unleash your employees' passion and commitment (aka Hundred Percenter effort) to achieve extraordinary results. Our unique 7-point scale and actionable questions deliver highly specific action plans that immediately increase employee engagement.

We also provide extraordinarily fast turnaround, and once data collection is complete, our research analysts waste no time in delivering your results. We pride ourselves on delivering accurate employee survey results within 28 days – far faster than the industry average – so you can begin implementing change with the biggest impact, before your culture shifts.

But the employee survey itself is only half of what we offer. Unlike others in the industry, we actually include the specific tools and training needed to take action on the issues identified in your surveys. Our advanced analyses help identify your challenges and opportunities, and then our consultants help you implement the changes to achieve significant results. We are truly your partners in this journey.

In short, with Leadership IQ's employee engagement surveys, you'll get insightful and actionable results, delivered with speed and precision, so your organization can improve employee engagement and start producing significantly greater results immediately. Learn more

Leadership IQ provides customized leadership training programs to meet your organization's specific needs. But our programs aren't built around abstract or outdated leadership and management theory; they're based only on research-backed, results-driven techniques that have been fully developed and optimized in the field. For instance, our leadership training has achieved 83% reduction in hiring failures, 62% reduction in time spent on problem employees, and eliminates on average 1.4 hours per day of wasted time for frontline employees. That's the kind of leadership training that speaks for itself.

In fact, CEOs love to present our leadership training to their organizations because we don't fill our programs with fluff or stale content. Our research-based training systems deliver leading-edge content with actionable tips and useful tools. These tools cover it all, including step-by-step scripts for challenging management scenarios, detailed interview questions for your hiring process and dozens of other techniques tailor-made to bring back to your workforce.

Our leadership training programs are developed to ensure that even high-powered executives with the shortest attention spans remain awake, engaged and eager to learn more. Our mix of case studies, interactive exercises and workshop-style discussions incorporate real-life scenarios and challenge leaders to test the limits of what they thought they knew about leadership. In short, our training programs are customized for our clients' specific needs and optimized to deliver tangible results that are right for your organization's unique culture.

For instance, as a leader or executive, you've heard of, and most likely set, SMART goals time and time again. However, Founder and CEO of Leadership IQ Mark Murphy doesn't hesitate to challenge the venerable SMART goals approach with a new and better method to achieve even greater results. He dives right into the issue by asking the plain question, "Are SMART goals Dumb?" and he follows up that question with his answer based on extensive research. Leadership IQ put the question to the test by asking more than 4,000 workers and nearly 400 organizations about their SMART goals. What we ultimately found was that a very low percentage of people truly believe their goals actually help them achieve extraordinary results.

With groundbreaking research and extensive experience in leadership training, Murphy proposes his own goal-setting methodology: HARD Goals. His latest book by the same name demonstrates that your goals must be Heartfelt, Animated, Required and Difficult if you want to achieve things bigger than yourself. Using Leadership IQ's dramatically more effective goal-setting methodology – the same kind of thinking that put people on the moon and created the personal computer – will ultimately drive your organization to solidify its position as the undisputed leaders in your field. And you can expect us to bring this level of research and intensity to all of the leadership training programs we create for your organization. Learn more
